  4. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Making Your Low Calorie Diet Work You’ve decided that a low calorie diet is the right thing for you. Now, how will you make this work for you? There are several things that you will want to take into consideration when it comes to these diet plans. First off, realize that you are committing yourself to a lifestyle change, one that will take practice and dedication to pull off. No diet is easy. But, remember this. For this sacrifice you gain added years on your life, health, and more energy as most people who lose weight will do all of these things and more. Now, how will you begin to manage your low calorie diet? First, consider one of the most important things to you. That is your nutrition. You can’t lose weight or become healthier if you are not eating the right foods. In fact, you will find that you just can’t lose weight effectively if your body is struggling to maintain its health and well being. Therefore, take some time to take into consideration not only low calorie foods but also low calorie foods that are nutritiously balanced for your health. You may find that you are not getting enough nutrients into your system with a low calorie diet. Vitamins and minerals are very important not only for health but for weight loss too. If you find that you can’t get enough in your restricted diet, you may want to consider adding supplements to your diet. Talk to your doctor about any medications you may be taking and also determine the best quality supplements on the market before selecting them. Your low calorie diet really can work if you dedicate the time and energy to making sure that the food that you do consume is both low calorie as well as high in nutrients.

  5. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Low Calorie Diet: No Calorie Foods Since you are on a low calorie diet, it would be great to find out if there actually are foods that you can consume that have no calories to them. That would give you the benefit of being able to satisfy your hunger without having to worsen your diet plans. The fact is that there are some good low calorie foods that you should be considering. If in fact you do need to help stave off those hunger pains, this may be the way to make sure it happens. When considering foods that are labeled on the market as being no calorie, take a look at them. If they are very costly, they may not be worth it. While all foods have some calories to them, some will offer a much better take then others would. What if the no calorie product tastes awful? Look for a product that is low calorie, then. Low is better than no for taste and better than full calorie, too. What about all of those products that claim to be negative calorie foods? Negative calorie foods are actually foods that do have calories, but they often take more work to consume then the calories that are actually in them. For example, if you are eating a food that contains 100 calories but it takes you 150 calories to consume it, it is actually reducing your calories by 50 just to eat it. A good example if that of celery; it takes your body a while to actually digest it which can leave you with a full feeling that also is cutting away at your intake. When you are considering these foods, consider what nutritional value they have. For example, other foods include garlic, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, apples, lemons, and oranges. If they are foods with good nutritional backgrounds, like these, then it can be a benefit to consume these over foods that are less than healthy for you. Page 10 of 10 © Wings Of Success

  6. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Eating Out On A Low Calorie Diet As Americans, you probably dine at least once every couple of weeks out. Even if you don’t, when you do, it can be detrimental to your low calorie diet if in fact you do. How can you avoid the extra calories that come from dining out when you are on a strict diet? There are several solutions for you to take into consideration. 1. Determine where you are going ahead of time and take a look at the restaurant’s online menu. Most of the larger chains and even some of the best individual locations will provide a full menu listing. You can use this information to help you to find the healthiest items on the menu. You can also use the web to help you to search for those recipes online, on other website. Sometimes, more well known chains will have copy cat recipes up with full nutritional value to help you to find the best choices even faster. 2. Look for foods on the menu. In most restaurants, you can request a nutritional guide that will provide you with details about the healthiness of the food. You can then make your choices wisely. Some even provide a section of their menu that is low calorie. If not, ask. 3. Look for the right foods. Vegetarian meals are a great choice as they often have far less foods that are high in saturated fats and in calories. In addition, look for foods that aren’t cooked in heavy sauces, creams or have added butter. Ask the chef to leave them out. Or, ask for a specially prepared meal that fits your needs. When you do these things, you will quickly see just how benefiting it can be to be on your low calorie diet and still not lose out when you go out. Page 11 of 11 © Wings Of Success

  7. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Dealing With Water On A Low Calorie Diet One of the most difficult things for people to take into consideration when it comes to their low calorie diet is that they should be drinking water. Why water? Why can’t you drink whatever you want? There is one big reason for this on this type of diet. Any type of drink, other than plain old water, has calories. These hidden calories are the worst way for you to waste your calories for the day. Consider this. Would you rather eat a few more vegetables or fill up on a few more ounces of chicken or would you like to drink a can of soda? When you can effectively learn to give up and drink water, you save yourself precious calories to use elsewhere in your diet. Calories are not easy to come by when you are dieting. You really need to cut them out wherever you can, and that includes in the beverage that you drink. A can of soda can have any place from 50 calories well up into the 150 to 200+ range. But, another thing to consider is just what you get for those calories. You don’t get a full sensation in your stomach so you are still heavy. You don’t get much taste as it is usually gone within a few minutes. And, you get caffeine, sugars, and even fats that you just don’t need. To make water a more tasty choice, add some spice into it. A simple yet effective way to do this is to just add some lemon or lime into the water. You should be consuming about 2 quarts of water per day. If you aren’t sure just how many you are getting, each morning fill a jug in the refrigerator with two quarts. If you don’t finish it, you haven’t gotten your water for the day. By the time you have learned to replace your drinks with water, you will have saved yourself countless calories. Page 12 of 12 © Wings Of Success

  8. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Low Calorie Diet: Burning Calories Effectively Are you looking to burn some extra calories from your low calorie diet to help you to gain some additional lost weight? You definitely can do this if you know just how to do it. For most people it will be necessary to take a few minutes and to consider how much exercise they can get in without increasing the amount of calories they are consuming. You don’t want to ruin your diet, but you do want to benefit it from consuming fewer calories and doing more exercise to burn additional stored fat. How can you keep track of the calories you have burned? Unfortunately, the little calorie counters that are now found throughout most stationary exercise machines don’t travel with you. If you do laundry, walk up and down steps all day or are walking around the office, how many calories are you burning? One tool is available online that can help you to count the calories you are bringing in your exercise regimen. That is an exercise calculator. You may even be able to find these available to you without cost. When you use one, all you’ll need to do is pull in the exercises that you are doing as you finish them and for how long you are doing them and you can learn just what you’ve burnt. You can find similar products on the market that will count the number of calories that you have consumed per day, too. Adding a tool like this to your daily work out can actually be quite beneficial to your overall low calorie diet. You can see where you’ve lost calories and increase your weight loss. Or, if you are doing some extra workouts and burning extra calories, you can actually eat a bit more food to help compensate. All in all, counting the calories of your exercises is a great way to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a health low calorie diet. Page 13 of 13 © Wings Of Success

  9. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! The Three Hour Diet-A Dieting Revolution Indeed! Dieting plays an important role in today’s lifestyle. Life today demands a healthy and attractive body.

People are largely skeptic about this diet as it proposes that one can loose weight be actually eating every once in three hours! However this diet is based on a common scientific principle and is one that is here to stay. The basic idea behind this diet is that the human body needs proper food at regular time intervals. In the absence of this, the body will switch into a ‘starvation mode’. Under this condition the body does not burn the fat as it is supposed to. Instead the extra fat in the body is held on to while the muscles are burnt. Most diets known to people reduce the food intake to reduce the weight. Hence they leave people feeling hungry constantly thought the day. However the three hour diet does not do this. Instead many have to remind themselves to eat constantly by setting alarms and scheduling regular food breaks. However eating any kind of food will ruin the entire effect of the diet. It is very important to eat the right kinds of food while following this diet. Information on this can be obtained from the book by Jorge Cruise called ‘the three hour diet’.

True followers of this diet must be ready to eat once in every three hours to get the best out of it. This diet is based on one’s current weight and how much of weight they want to loose in the given time frame. The needs of the human body vary from person to person. This diet takes Page 14 of 14 © Wings Of Success

  10. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! these needs into consideration to achieve the best results for individuals.

  11. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Atkins Diet - Processed Food vs The Unprocessed It is not uncommon for those starting on the Atkins program to be drawn to the variety of low carbohydrate products available in the markets today. In fact there is a wide assortment of packaged items that are manufactured to be specifically low carb and you would probably be tempted to fill your shopping bag with these products. Items like low-carb baking powder, low- carb snacks and low-carb pasta and bread substitutes may entice you to add them to your shopping list, but it is perhaps best for your health and for your diet if you use these sparingly. Low-carb foods are, simply speaking, a substitute for your favorite heavy carbohydrate foods. They might add diversity to your plan and help you get over your cravings in a pinch but one glance at the label can betray how much chemical it actually contains. One important thing to remember is that Atkins diet gives prime importance to raw and unprocessed food. In fact Atkins diet food pyramid focuses on fresh meat and fresh vegetables as its key diet. Blended with these are natural cheeses, a variety of fruits and further down the line, whole unprocessed grains. Items like canned vegetables, packaged meats and instant food are strongly discouraged. The Atkins food pyramid displays these foods in their raw states with good reason. There are proven advantages of consuming foods that are minimally processed. Whereas there is a danger in consuming packaged or industrially processed products as these contain a host of harmful chemicals that can cause various problems. It is preferable to eat raw and whole foods, which retain the nutrients and vitamins essential to the body. Raw and fresh food ingredients are the best bet to a healthy diet. There is a tendency to rely on food that is technically allowed on the program but is not very healthy. For example, many people on the plan consume a lot of bacon because it seems to be a good protein supplement. But few know that bacon contains large amounts of sodium nitrite, which is known to be cancer causing. Page 16 of 16 © Wings Of Success

  12. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! The consumption of unrefined, unprocessed and non-manufactured food, as advised by the Atkins pyramid and diet books, has been known to cause to weight reduction and health transformations. For optimum health it is best to eat natural and fresh nutrient providing food. Low-carb packaged products, on the other hand, can make sticking to the diet difficult as it instigates carb cravings in certain individuals. If consuming low carb foods makes you want to indulge in carb-heavy foods, it is best you refrain from consuming these products. In fact, they may contain concealed carb counts that can raise your daily carb level without your knowledge. If you feel your weight reduction on the Atkins plan is stalling, re-assess your commitment to unrefined and unprocessed food. You may be eating hidden carbs in the form of low-carb foods and also consuming more than is healthy. If so, do away with the processed and packaged and refocus on the unrefined and the fresh. While shopping, stick to the section where the unprocessed fresh food is. We lead busy lives and sometimes it’s alright to rely on convenience foods like packaged meat and packaged fruits and vegetables. One can understand the need to resort to canned soup, canned vegetables and bacon time and again, but as far as possible we must try to concentrate our diet on fresh and unprocessed products. In doing so, your efforts at weight loss and good health will definitely pay off. Page 17 of 17 © Wings Of Success

  15. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Dieting By Weight Loss Surgery All who are looked at to be very obese have only a few options to lose weight when time period is very critical. Most have shifted from one kind of diet to another for a major part of their lives but only to realize failure and also develop a sense of helplessness and hopelessness which in turn leads to a very pessimistic approach in life. The general misconception about the over obese people is that they were solely responsible and if they chose otherwise they wouldn't be this fat. This is only a nice in theory but not true in practice generally. There are some medical conditions that cause certain bodily dysfunctions and hence these people can't control weight they put on. There are environmental issues as well which can influence the weight as well. But it's ironic that many cases who are drug addicts and alcoholics are cared for and seen with better compassion than a person who is obese. Surgery itself is big surgery and isn't an option that can be taken carelessly without thought. Many people realize that surgery involves a big change in their lifestyle also a new method of eating which is a lifetime commitment. Due to these facts it's suggested that all those getting the surgery must have a BMI greater than at least 40. This in turn means that it's advised for guys who are more than a hundred pound extra and women who have extra bulk of eighty pounds or so. One should carefully consider benefits and risks of such a surgery prior to deciding that surgery is the plan of action you are taking. Risks involved are great and must not be overlooked by desperation to reduce weight .Nutrition based deficiencies result in 20% of people who have opted for this surgery as the end result in insufficiency of nutrients. This may cause osteoporosis and worse conditions as you grow old. Some complications result from surgery by itself. You will have lifetime issues when eating a lot or the incorrect kinds of food, and some who reach the goals find out that weight can come back at times. Like life itself, there is no assurance about weight loss surgeries. To decide whether or not you need this surgery , you should ask yourself some of the following queries which may help make up your mind in either way. Page 20 of 20 © Wings Of Success

  16. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Is my extra bulk hampering significant daily activities? Is my extra bulk causing any other condition which may harm my well being? Is my extra bulk something I feel I should control by myself? Will I be able to handle consequences and all the follow ups that are required? The main problem with many people who need to resort to surgery is the fact that they can't take control of the body again. The chances of a candidate for surgery getting rid of the fat by his own methods are very less as he is most likely to have tried and also failed every other diet given in any book. You can only decide if or not surgery is a good option for your needs. But if you finally decide that's what you want to do, then discuss all possible consequences clearly with your doctor in order to avoid the possibility of any serious damage later on during your older years.

  17. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! PH Miracle Diet- Alkalize Your Body The PH miracle diet has revolutionized the perspective on eating. The diet aspires to achieve ph levels of 20% acid and 80% alkaline in food intake. This aims at equaling the ph levels of the bloodstream, which bends towards the alkaline. This can be challenging for quite a few people, as the food they usually tend to indulge in is considered mostly acidic. It thus becomes important to recognize sources of alkaline content, construct a list of such foods and add them to your PH miracle diet. Alkalizing foods neutralize the acidity present in the bloodstream, thereby giving the body a sensation of rejuvenation. They regenerate and restore cells in the system and refresh the body, thus acting as a “breath of fresh air”. Repeated intake of food high in acid content causes premature break down of the body. These “acid bombs” are carried throughout the system by the bloodstream, causing harm and posing a threat and danger to the body. We can optimize the PH level in our blood by identifying what foods have an alkalizing property, and integrating it in our diet in higher amounts. Levels 7 and greater are considered alkaline, the levels of human blood being between 7.35-7.45. The simplest way to get alkaline into the system is by eating fruits and vegetables. Some alkalizing vegetables are: barley grass, alfalfa, beet greens, beets, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, chard greens, cauliflower, celery, collard greens, dandelions, cucumber, green beans, garlic, egg plant, green peas, kohlrabi, kale, lettuce, mustard greens, onions, nightshade veggies, peppers, peas, parsnip, radishes, pumpkin, rutabaga, spinach, sea veggies, sweet potato, sprouts, watercress, tomato, wild greens and what grass. Some alkalizing fruits are: avocados, apricots, apples, berries, bananas, blackberries, cherries, cantaloupe, coconut, cherries, currants, figs, dates, grapes, honeydew, grapefruit, limes, lemons, muskmelons, oranges, nectarines, peaches, pineapple, pears, raspberries, raisins, strawberries, rhubarb, tangerines, strawberries, tropical fruits, tomatoes and watermelon. In the process of addition of more alkaline in ones diet, protein can pose a problem. All animal derived protein is acidic. But there are proteins that are alkalizing. Some are almonds, millet, chestnuts, tofu, whey protein powder and tempeh. Page 22 of 22 © Wings Of Success

  18. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! What is food without those herbs, spices and sweeteners, which add greatly to its character? These alkalizing embellishments can be added to your culinary endeavors to balance out the PH levels. Condiments which have an alkalizing effect are: curry, cinnamon, ginger, chili pepper, mustard, sea salt, miso, stevia, tamari and all herbs. Minerals are also essential for health. Proper blood PH balance can be maintained by identifying which minerals are alkalizing. Some are: potassium, cesium, sodium, magnesium and calcium. In addition to these, there are some ingredients that make the addition of alkaline to the diet even easier. These may be listed as: vinegar, apple cider, alkaline antioxidant water, lecithin granules, bee pollen, probiotic cultures, molasses, green juices, soured dairy products, fresh fruit juices, veggie juices, and mineral water. Knowledge of which foods and which supplements add alkaline to the PH levels is just the first step. Implementation, which takes commitment and planning is the next. The best way to test the body’s PH level, once these foods have been added to the diet, is the saliva strip test. These tests are available in most of the health food stores. A PH between 7 and 8 boasts of good health. One should not forget that the aim of the PH miracle diet is to ensure that acidic intake is less than the alkaline intake. This does not necessarily mean that one cannot consume foods that are more acidic. The balance of ones diet should merely be geared towards alkaline foods. Maintaining an appropriate PH balance, one can ensure that the body performs at an optimum level. Page 23 of 23 © Wings Of Success

  21. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! pH Miracle Diet - Criticism Whenever something gets famous, it gets criticized by some sources. The newly famous pH miracle diet isn't any different. The program has got followers, and it has also got a lot of criticism from a lot of people. The first criticism about the diet is the fact that it asks people to be vegans and vegetarians. Critics claim that the diet, especially with its deletion of dairy products ( vegetarian source of protein ), is very low in protein content. However, this comes from the misconception that we need a large amount of proteins. Going by popularity of the low carbohydrate diet (that is just high in protein diets) has aggravated this conception in the heads of people. Sadly health has become equal to eating dairy and red meat. Anyway, there are lots of sources of healthy proteins which don't contain the bad acidic effects of dairy products or red meat. In reality, many people take too much of protein and not too less. Generally women need around 45 grams per day, and a man needs around 55 grams. One cup of tofu (that is acceptable on pH diet) has around 20 gm of proteins. And beans have around 8 grams every half a cup. So in reality it’s easy to gain enough of protein from a vegetarian diet. One more criticism about this issue is about calcium. Most people tend to equate drinking milk and getting stronger bones. But , American women take average two pounds of milk every day and still about 30 million women get osteoporosis. If taking milk made bones stronger, then only the opposite will be true. From a study done by Cornell nutritionist named Amy Joy Lanou who proved that there is no link between dairy substances and healthy bones in young adults and children. There are many sources of calcium in alkalizing food products which will enhance protection to osteoporosis. Most critics also say that the importance on fresh foods and vegetables is the actual cause behind the victory that many get from diets. pH miracle diet recommends to eat around 70 percent of vegetables and some needed fruits. In this rate, no matter if you are consuming alkalizing food , anybody will see an enhancement in their health. Most critics disregard the need for the pH balance miracle diet.

  22. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! But however, there are many people who experience good results after getting rid of wheat, which is an acidic food. Its not a product that one generally links with bad health, however, removing wheat has proved to be a godsend to loads of people who suffer the effects of an over-acidified meal. The quantity of alkalizing vegetables present in diet will surely do anyone good, no matter if they take the other parts of the diet seriously. By following eating of alkaline products, you would be enhancing the health irrespective of strictness of diet. But this causes another famous criticism in the book. Most people say that pH miracle diet is way too strict for daily following. The reduction of foods like milk, animal protein and wheat seems too much for some. They can't imagine making it through a full day without consuming these food groups. Idea of restricting to a diet containing plant based food only seems too strict. However, most people who utilize pH miracle diet are seeing good results without having to be 100% rigid about the rules. Like most other diets, pH miracle diet recommends steps to a better health. Emphasis here is on the steps. It's not reasonable to ask anyone for a total 180-degree change about his or her meal habits. Using a slower method for changing the diet will give longer and successful end results. If any diet is done word by word, it's very difficult at the start because mostly people are used to eating in a certain pattern. But with time and some practice , anyone can get better health through more of an H balanced diet. Like with many other diets, the pH miracle diet outlines steps toward better health. The emphasis here is on steps. It is unreasonable to expect anyone to do a complete 180-degree change in his or her eating habits overnight. Taking a slower approach to changing your diet will create longer and more successful results. If the diet is followed word for word, it is difficult at first because people are so used to eating a certain way. With time and practice though, you can move toward better health and a more pH balanced diet. Page 27 of 27 © Wings Of Success

  23. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food!

Have a diet that is rich in fruits & vegetables but also do not forgot to indulge yourself once in a while to keep yourself going and sane.

  25. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Vegetarianism And The PH Miracle Diet The miracle diet is a regime which helps to restore balance in our body by consuming alkaline foods. The cells of the body are naturally alkaline and you can enhance your body's natural function by consuming alkaline foods. Adding on to this consumption, Dr. Robert Young, who created the diet, recommends omitting acidifying items like wheat, dairy and meat. Becoming vegetarians is a must for those who want improved health, according to Dr. Young. He accepts that the change to vegetarianism requires a lot of mental control and strength. The diet which is most standard in America is not devoid of alkalizing food and is not vegetarian. Animal proteins are inevitable in the diet of people. Despite, there is no compulsion to consume animal protein. It could be well compensated by the protein rich sources available in the vegetarian group. A belief prevails in our society that the physical well-being and health of an individual is encouraged by proteins. Especially men, are demanded to consume huge quantities of meat to have vitality and strength. This figment has however prevailed for a long time. As early as the 20th century, scientists believed that consumption of meat equaled strength, prominently in the field of sport. This myth has essentially been the driving force behind meat eating in the last century. In reality, the need for protein by a person's body is less than assumed by most people. The sources of vegetarian proteins are plenty and are acceptable on the miracle pH diet. There are plenty of sources from which an individual can choose. But why is animal protein forbade by this program? Dairy, meats and eggs which are sources of animal protein, have acidifying significance on our body. This tends to prevail on consumption of non-organic meat. Consumption of processed meat can lead to exposure of hormones, chemicals and drugs being given to animals before they are killed. Risks of the hormones prevail as there are no definite studies about them. Our consumption of antibiotics will increase as the animals are periodically Page 30 of 30 © Wings Of Success

  26. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! fed with them. this increased consumption will lead to reduction of helpful bacteria in our body. This leads to accumulation of metabolic acid in our system, leading to disastrous effects. The helpful bacteria which check the accumulation of metabolic acid in our system are killed by the antibiotics in the animals. Good elements like minerals, vitamins and proteins can be obtained from vegetarian food without any dangers.20 grams of protein is contained in a cup of tofu, which is an alkalizing source. An average human requires only about 40 gm of protein per day. This can be easily satisfied without the consumption of meat. Switching to vegetarianism is much of a mental battle than a physical battle. In fact, the absence of acidifying animal protein leads to efficient body. Consumption of meat is a routine and the advantages of consuming it is a figment. There is no need for meat physically. Omitting meat from our diet leads to opening our eyes to a huge variety of foods that convincingly replace meat. When one follows the miracle diet, he/she will notice that Dr. Robert suggests an equity of 70 percent alkaline, and 30 percent acidic food. Hence, there is some extent for consuming items in the acidic group. Even though it would be tempting to consume proteins from animal sources, it is preferable to choose from the less acidic foods like oats, eggs, pastas and other products. It is certainly the individual's choice to become a pure vegetarian. Reducing the quantity of animal protein will lead to improvements in your health eventually. Page 31 of 31 © Wings Of Success

All these factors are effective in weight loss and are clinically proven. But it is not enough to take diet pills to lose weight. Exercise is still very important.

  32. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Weight Loss Plan: The Goal To Go For Generally excess fat holds you at risk of getting many health related problems, you have get weight loss plans in order to avoid these risks and also to prevent disease.

You will have a much better chance of reaching all the goals if you can just make sure these plans that you might utilize are reasonable and sensible. Some of the guidelines given by experts for choosing the correct plan. 1. Try To Be realistic Many people’s long-term plans are very ambitious more than what is has to be. Like for example, incase you weigh around 170 pounds and the plan is to reduce to 120, although you haven't weighed that much since 16 and now nearly 45, which isn't a proper goal. The body mass index called in short BMI is a very good indicator to know if you have to shed some weight. The proper BMI variation range, according to certain international sources, is anywhere from 19 till 24.9. Incase your BMI is anywhere from 25 to 29.9, you should consider yourself overweight.

Set reasonable objectives Trying a weight loss idea for just vanity's sake is mentally a little less helpful than to lose weight to enhance health. Page 37 of 37 © Wings Of Success

  33. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! A huge step forward has been made if you decide and undertake a proper weight loss plan which includes eating right and exercise to make you will feel much better and also to have energy to do positive things in life. 3.Try and Focus on doing it, not losing it Instead of saying that you will lose at least a pound by end of this week, its better to say how much exercise you get done this week. That would surely make a sane plan. Do keep in thought that the weight in a span of a week isn't totally under your control, only your behavior surely is. 4. Try and Build in bits Ant short term plans for weight loss shouldn't be like "a pie-in-the-sky." Which means that if you haven't exercised in a while, the best plan for the week must be based on getting to know around three single mile routes to walk for the whole of the coming week. 5. Do Keep up the Motivation A do or die attitude only ensures your failure. You must evaluate your efforts objectively and fairly. In case you don't complete some goals, let it go and move to next week. Perfect record is not needed. Self encouragement must surely be part of the weight loss plans. If not, you might end up failing. 6. Always Use measurable attempts Telling that you will be positive in the coming weeks or that you want to get serious this week are not goals which you can measure hence mustn't part of the weight loss plan. Page 38 of 38 © Wings Of Success

  34. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! That is yet another reason as to why you must include exercise on the plan and also focus on it. Anyone must be able to include 3 minutes of exercise time so as to be very successful in the plan. Bottom line is that, everyone must use plans which will remain just a plan. They must put it to action only by including goals which will encourage them to succeed. Page 39 of 39 © Wings Of Success

  37. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Weight Watchers Dieting In the field of dieting and weight watching there are just a handful of organizations that have actually successfully achieved what they promise. These organizations seem to be on the roll and there is no question of stopping them. More significant are the people who join and manage to stick to it till the end. So why do some programs take the backseat while some steal the show? Community One chief reason behind the success of Weight Watchers is the sense of community, the bond that is forged between all the men and women who have a common goal-weight loss. It is encouraging as well as endearing to be with a set of people with whom you can share your experiences as well as theirs. More often than not, people who are on diet or a program simply do not get enough support from their family and friends. The bonding that takes place in the meetings of the Weight Watchers is strong because it is of people who come from diverse walks of life and cultures but are still united under one common aim of losing weight and a leading healthier lives. And this bond is very dear to them because it is together that they laugh and cry. The kind of motivation and encouragement that this type of program stimulates is commendable to the highest degree. Evolution Though the typical manner in which to watch weight would be to actually attend the meetings, the community of Weight Watchers knows how to evolve with time. For those who are too busy or are just afraid to attend meetings, there are many alternatives available like online forums, support group sand message boards. But the evolution has not stopped here. They have, in recent years, introduced a system of points which allows dieters to gauge how well they are performing or progressing through points instead of having to actually keep track of and account for every calorie. Counting every calorie Page 42 of 42 © Wings Of Success

  38. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! is a hassle many dieters should not have to take time out of their busy schedules to sort out (especially while dining out). The Weight Watchers online website is a great example of fast evolution in response to the ever changing requirements of men and women taking part in the program. They truly outdo themselves in terms of the information and insights offered. Commitment to fitness It is common knowledge among the Weight Watchers that dieting alone does not reap benefits. A diet in combination with an appropriate exercise gives much better and satisfying results. When it comes down to it, the most successful Weight Watchers are the ones who along with proper nutrition and attitude towards food, also stress on exercise as a vital component of the regime. Weight Watchers is one among numerous other dieting and weight loss programs available in the market today. That they have carved a niche for themselves and are above many others in this particular field demands recognition. Despite the innumerable weight reduction programs being introduced every other month, Weight Watchers has consistently achieved laudable results for those who actually work at it. There are not many programs that can claim the same for themselves. Considering all of the afore mentioned, along with the pre packaged food and extensive recipes offered by the Weight Watchers, coupled with their remarkable track record for success, there is no way you wouldn’t want to at least check out what they have to offer you.

  39. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Teen Dieting It is a sad fact that modern living has led to a greater incidence of obesity among teenagers. Children who are overweight are not at the optimum health they should be and this can ultimately impact upon their performance academically. Too much weight will also compromise the physical health of a teen and it affects their social interaction among peers. Children and young people do not place high priority on tact and the school environment can be tough on a teen who is perceived as 'fat' by others. An obese teenager probably began to practice the behavior that has caused the weight problem from earlier childhood. For this reason if we want to prevent obesity occurring during adolescence, it is imperative to monitor the eating and exercise habits that younger children are forming. From an early age you can instill in your child a way of life that will serve him well for the future. Tackling Obesity by Example Most healthy, balanced children grow up in a healthy balanced home. We should do our best to create a home environment that will encourage children to lead healthy lifestyles. This means that as parents we ourselves should demonstrate healthy living to our children by leading healthy lifestyles ourselves. Children love to go out and play with their parents. If you jog then your offspring will enjoy accompanying you on a Sunday morning. If you take up tennis you'll always find a partner in your child. Conversely, if you spend hours in front of soap operas on TV, your child is most likely to be glued to cartoons on another channel or hidden in his room with a computer game (and possibly a stash of his favorite candy in addition). Not only is everyone less physically fit, these low energy activities provide less opportunity for family interaction and cohesion. Children generally eat what their parents eat. Many parents don't understand this and adopt a diet they think their children want to eat. It is not unusual for parents to be consuming a diet of fries and pizza simply because they have children. If parents stick to a healthy, life promoting diet, their children will grow accustomed to such food from the outset. Parents should encourage their children to enjoy high energy activities. It is not too difficult in most modern Page 44 of 44 © Wings Of Success

  40. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! cities to enroll children on extra curricular dance or martial arts classes for example. Children soon begin to consider such activities as a normal part of their weekly routine. When you next book your summer vacation, why not avoid those where the main focus is to lounge on the beach and be pampered in luxury hotels. Instead, look for healthier alternatives like hiking holidays, canoeing and water sports or cycling. If you are on a typical package holiday, try to spend as much time as you can away from the hotel. Find places of interest that can be walked around like old ruins or quaint villages. Rather than just sunbathing on a beach, find locations with exciting coastlines that can be explored. Sometimes, the problem has occurred already and your teen may be facing a weight problem. It is then the job of the parent to help the child actively pursue a weight loss program. It is often useful to empathize with your teen and show him or her that you remember life at high school yourself. Share anecdotes from you own school life which children usually find highly amusing and at the same time they get to see that you truly know the difficulties they might be facing right now at school. Remind your child that it is not 'cool' to over do fast food and that those who look after themselves end up being much more attractive to others. Many young people today are identified with celebrity culture. You can research some well known personalities who take their health seriously for your child to admire and emulate. Many young people secretly fear that no amount of dieting will work and if they are overweight it is their own fault. Explain to the child that the factors in society in general that cause these problems and let them know they are not alone. Above all, explain to them that it is absolutely possible for them to take control of the situation. Assure your teen that healthy eating and exercise will definitely make a difference and their efforts will not be in vain. When they are convinced that a healthy body is something that is by all means achievable, you will be surprised to see the motivation for change coming from within the teens themselves.

  41. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! PH Miracle Diet- Alkalize Your Body The PH miracle diet has revolutionized the perspective on eating. The diet aspires to achieve ph levels of 20% acid and 80% alkaline in food intake. This aims at equaling the ph levels of the bloodstream, which bends towards the alkaline. This can be challenging for quite a few people, as the food they usually tend to indulge in is considered mostly acidic. It thus becomes important to recognize sources of alkaline content, construct a list of such foods and add them to your PH miracle diet. Alkalizing foods neutralize the acidity present in the bloodstream, thereby giving the body a sensation of rejuvenation. They regenerate and restore cells in the system and refresh the body, thus acting as a “breath of fresh air”. Repeated intake of food high in acid content causes premature break down of the body. These “acid bombs” are carried throughout the system by the bloodstream, causing harm and posing a threat and danger to the body. We can optimize the PH level in our blood by identifying what foods have an alkalizing property, and integrating it in our diet in higher amounts. Levels 7 and greater are considered alkaline, the levels of human blood being between 7.35-7.45. The simplest way to get alkaline into the system is by eating fruits and vegetables. Some alkalizing vegetables are: barley grass, alfalfa, beet greens, beets, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, chard greens, cauliflower, celery, collard greens, dandelions, cucumber, green beans, garlic, egg plant, green peas, kohlrabi, kale, lettuce, mustard greens, onions, nightshade veggies, peppers, peas, parsnip, radishes, pumpkin, rutabaga, spinach, sea veggies, sweet potato, sprouts, watercress, tomato, wild greens and what grass. Some alkalizing fruits are: avocados, apricots, apples, berries, bananas, blackberries, cherries, cantaloupe, coconut, cherries, currants, figs, dates, grapes, honeydew, grapefruit, limes, lemons, muskmelons, oranges, nectarines, peaches, pineapple, pears, raspberries, raisins, strawberries, rhubarb, tangerines, strawberries, tropical fruits, tomatoes and watermelon. In the process of addition of more alkaline in ones diet, protein can pose a problem. All animal derived protein is acidic. But there are proteins that are alkalizing. Some are almonds, millet, chestnuts, tofu, whey protein powder and tempeh. Page 46 of 46 © Wings Of Success

  42. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! What is food without those herbs, spices and sweeteners, which add greatly to its character? These alkalizing embellishments can be added to your culinary endeavors to balance out the PH levels. Condiments which have an alkalizing effect are: curry, cinnamon, ginger, chili pepper, mustard, sea salt, miso, stevia, tamari and all herbs. Minerals are also essential for health. Proper blood PH balance can be maintained by identifying which minerals are alkalizing. Some are: potassium, cesium, sodium, magnesium and calcium. In addition to these, there are some ingredients that make the addition of alkaline to the diet even easier. These may be listed as: vinegar, apple cider, alkaline antioxidant water, lecithin granules, bee pollen, probiotic cultures, molasses, green juices, soured dairy products, fresh fruit juices, veggie juices, and mineral water. Knowledge of which foods and which supplements add alkaline to the PH levels is just the first step. Implementation, which takes commitment and planning is the next. The best way to test the body’s PH level, once these foods have been added to the diet, is the saliva strip test. These tests are available in most of the health food stores. A PH between 7 and 8 boasts of good health. One should not forget that the aim of the PH miracle diet is to ensure that acidic intake is less than the alkaline intake. This does not necessarily mean that one cannot consume foods that are more acidic. The balance of ones diet should merely be geared towards alkaline foods. Maintaining an appropriate PH balance, one can ensure that the body performs at an optimum level. Page 47 of 47 © Wings Of Success

  43. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Shopping Tips For The Ph Miracle Diet There are a few guidelines to be followed if you are all set to experiment with the astounding pH diet plan. The first thing to be taken care of is to clean up all the food stuff with high acidic content out of the refrigerator and the pantry. However, this would become difficult if you stay with other people in the house. In such a state, you need to take care that you clear out food stuff which tempts you the most. Natural food stores and health stores are great options to get the food stuff you will be consuming during the diet period though grocery stores would also be suitable to get the needful things. In case you are in an area without such kind of specialty stores, the local grocery is the best solution. Certain points which need to be kept in mind while shopping as per your diet requirements are discussed here. Make a list of the items that you need to purchase. It is no use walking around the store trying to recollect everything that you need. You can also plan the week’s menu which you would be following and shop according to it. This would help you in buying only the stuff that you need and would therefore save time, money and wastage of items. You will have to buy a lot of alkaline stuff which would mainly be from a variety of vegetables. The next thing to be taken care of is that you need to be on a complete alkaline diet when you initially start off with the pH diet. Every kind of the pH diet, whether strict or lenient aims at a perfect balance between alkaline and acids. Hence, this should be kept in mind while preparing grocery lists and menus. Food stuff with lower levels of acids consists of whole grain pasta, bananas, eggs, dried beans, wheat bread, nuts and milk. A proportion of 70 percent alkaline to 30 percent acids is considered ideal. While at a grocery store, you will notice that you would be more on the outside sections of the store as that is the area which generally comprises of fresh food items which may match your needs during the diet period. The outer rim invariably consists of farm fresh products, meat and/or deli products and the dairy products. Page 48 of 48 © Wings Of Success

  44. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! Vegetables are the most prominent components of the pH diet and hence more focus would be on them while shopping. Frozen and conventional produce contribute nothing to the diet plan and hence it is an absolute waste using them. Instead, opt for farm fresh produce if you can afford to get it. Another thing to be avoided is canned vegetables and fruits. They are absolutely unhealthy as they have a negative effect on the alkalinity of the fruits and vegetables and they also contain a great deal of sodium in them. If fresh produce cannot be purchased, it is better to go with frozen ones. The best way to shop is by purchasing equal or balanced amounts of acidic and alkaline food stuff so that you can get used to the new way of eating as well as living. Just being extremely strict about the diet you consume will not produce the desired results. Rather, start gradually and balance food items in such a way that you get rid of all the acidic food in your diet with the passage of the period of diet plan. Page 49 of 49 © Wings Of Success

  45. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! The "Quick Weight Loss Diet" Trend Disadvantage There is nothing unusual in getting frustrated or feeling guilty or feeling worse about not fitting into a smaller size dress even after a month of hard work through a rapid weight loss program. This is because; sometimes things which we think would motivate would actually backfire. It is therefore advisable to set more easily achievable targets for oneself. Hence, in case you are going to apply the new-clothes technique, decrease the size gradually and do not burn a hole in your pocket by buying expensive clothes with a hope of losing weight in a very short span of time. One more thing to be kept in mind is that if you continuously repent not losing weight quickly, you tend to end up slipping in rapid weight loss plans and fad diets. One bitter but true fact is that there is no single diet plan which has been proved to aid in rapid loss of weight and there are no swift ways for people to lose weight more than what their body can actually provide for. Such diets can never be effective in the longer run. What Works Best Since the apt attitude and the correct principle are not applied, all these fad diets and swift weight loss programs do not prove efficient and effective. This ends up in weight gain after a certain period of time which would make the person feel even worse. Such quick fixes for losing weight are termed fad diets as they are nothing more than a trend, a fad. People would realize this only when they see that the diet has not helped them in any way. The points discussed below are the things to be considered before blindly trusting the so called effective weight losing programs that are being promoted in the markets after spending so many bucks. They are just namesake stories to make people prefer their diet programs. So, here they go:- 1. Missing out on meals Page 50 of 50 © Wings Of Success

  46. How To Lose Weight … With The Right Food! A diet program can be definitely termed fad diet if it calls for the individual to skip meals at any time of the day. Not eating food at proper time may lead to serious hitches especially if the person is diabetic. Skipping meals is completely unhealthy as it would only result in low blood sugar, otherwise known as hypoglycemia which would result in more consumption of food in the upcoming meals. 2. Dieting Devoid Of Exercise Or The Vice-Versa Exercises are very important for maintaining a healthy and fit body. It helps in maintaining proper circulation of blood in the body as well as in carrying out other processes. Thus, diet plans which are void of exercises are basically pointless and useless. For proper maintenance of the body, diet and exercise must be combined together in the right proportion. 3. Dawdling Continuously Postponing diet plans is not the best thing to be done. This is because postponement would lead to lethargy. If the diet plan calls for you to lose weight within a stipulated time, it clearly implies that it is nothing but a wannabe trend setting fad diet which is absolutely unhealthy. Precisely, we can say that slowly losing the excess weight by proper diet and exercise is a better way to lose weight than just blindly following a so called rapid fad diet which might result in more complications and side-effects. It is said so because a fad diet may not make the individual feel good about the whole process while the process of planned and healthy weight loss may make him feel great as well as leave behind a positive enthusiasm.
